OK Scott James Remnant thank you a lot for your help.

I suggest to put some lines about this in upcomming release Notes.
Otherwise a lot of breezy users will fell into it.

Because in Breezy it was needed to enable dma in hdparm.conf.
(That´s why i had it enabled, too.)

So I guess a lot of current breezy users will have this config.
